Bill Davis was pulled out in the final round of his clash with Rocky Johnstone (Attleborough) after suffering a nose injury, while Bobbie Stanley lost out on a tight points decision against Paddy Casey (Pound Lane ABC, Essex).

Davy Jones also fell short on points in his contest with Harvey Gilham (New Astley, Suffolk).

Belkin and Smith both advance to the pre-quarters at national level which take place in King’s Lynn this weekend against the Home Counties. Another New Saints fighter, Alfie Smith, received a bye to that stage.
